Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania threw a few elbows at several potential rivals for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, calling possible contenders Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas “bomb throwers” with little experience.
“Do we really want someone with this little experience?” Mr. Santorum said, referring to Mr. Paul, Mr. Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, The New York Times reported. “And the only experience they have basically — not Rubio, but Cruz and Paul because I don’t think Rubio is going to go — is bomb throwing? Do we really want somebody who’s a bomb thrower, with no track record of any accomplishments?”
Doug Stafford, a senior adviser to Mr. Paul, told the paper they would pass on responding to the “alleged wisdom” of someone who lost re-election in 2006 by 18 points and who “has spent the time since then trying to convince people to elect him to an even higher office than the one he was booted out of.”

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

Santorum needs to realize that he needs to exit the stage and let people run who actually have a chance to win.

Santorum could not even win his own Senate seat
after he supported Arlin Specter.
Good riddance.

Nina Easton, on Brett Baier's show, called the likes of Cruz and other conservatives, the "Caveman Caucus"!
DO NOT TRUST RAND PAUL!

You know, lack of experience is NOT our problem in this country! Being black (or part black) is not either. It’s the poor, insane decisions, the violation of our Constitution and laws, the muslim conditioning, and more, that’s our problem.
If he’s going to try to cloud the issue like this, I don’t like him.

Rick Santorum sounds off....Several years ago, I decided not to pay any attention to Santorum until he started to wear long pants. Not happenrd yet.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Santorum will do or say anything if he thinks it will help him politically. He has zero accomplishments outside of politics.

Experienced in exactly what, Rick? Back scratching quid pro quo? Going along to get along? Bipartisanship?
That mess NEEDS to be bombed.

Any politician who can’t win re-election in their own state has no business running for President.

LOL. I don’t know why anyone ever thought K Street Rick was a conservative. He’s just Mike Huckabee without a divinity degree.
